Huang Liushuang's Early Experience

Huang Zu was born in Taishan, Guangdong Province, and his grandfather, the first generation to go to the United States, was the first group of Chinese workers to come to California for gold. By the second-generation father Huang Shi, the Huang family had opened a laundry in Chinatown to make a living.

Families in Huang Liushuang are very traditional. In fact, in order to protect their minimum dignity and culture in foreign countries, China families, who are in a weak position overseas, tend to cherish and maintain traditional culture doubly. You know, that's their spiritual support. Little Anna and her sister are often bullied by white classmates at school. They often deliberately pull their pigtails for fun. A boy sitting behind Huang Liushuang often pricks her to see if people in China feel "pain". Later, in order to avoid their daughters being bullied at school, their father transferred them from the white school to the China school in Chinatown.

Huang Liushuang is the third generation Chinese who immigrated to the United States. The family makes a living by running a laundry. Huang Liushuang has eight brothers, and she ranks second. In her primary school days, it was the beginning of Hollywood film production. Watching movies has become people's fashion. Little Huang Liushuang sisters were immediately attracted by the film. Huang Liushuang often skipped classes and sneaked into the theater. He was ill to save money for lunch and meals. At that time, in Hollywood in the silent film era, stories that satirized orientals or vilified Chinese were often taken as shooting subjects, so they often went to the location of China City and often used local materials to recruit Chinese extras.

One day, a film called The Red Lantern was being filmed on the location of China City. Naji Muwa, the first red star at that time, played a Eurasian mixed-race child. The plot needs oriental faces to cooperate. Huang Liushuang, who was only 14 years old, volunteered to be a bit player. Since then, she has stepped into the star road at19,654,38+09.

During her film career of more than 40 years, Huang Liushuang made more than 50 films, and she was also the first China native to enter Hollywood. In that environment full of racial discrimination, she has to bear the strong opposition of her family and March straight into Hollywood waters like a shark. Without two brushes, she would have disappeared like Floating on the Xinghai.

From silent film to true colors, it gradually pushed her to the status of a world-class star and became an out-and-out oriental red star. At that time, traces and trends of Huang Liushuang appeared in movies and magazines in North America, Europe, Australia, South America, Southeast Asia, China and Japan.

1928 went to Europe accompanied by her sister Lulu. During my three years in Europe, I made a film called Song in Germany for the first time. This also caused a whirlwind in Europe, from Britain to the Netherlands, from Spain to Italy, from Hungary to Romania, and so on, all rushed to report on her. Edward Steinchin, a famous German photographer, also published a collection of Huang Liushuang's photographs in Vanity Fair magazine, which was distributed all over the world in France and sold in the French Concession that year.

The enthusiastic response of European fans to her has also made high-end magazines in the United States reserve pages for her. Soon, Huang Liushuang once again set foot on the land of France. The French have been interested in China's silk, porcelain and architecture. This time, a flesh-and-blood China porn star came, which made the French audience adore her.

Soon, Huang Liushuang came to the British Isles, where she participated in the filming of Piccadilly Circus directed by German film director DuPont. She loves London very much and deeply feels people's concern and friendship for her. Her style and charm not only fascinated the reporters who came to interview her, but even ordinary fans rushed to see her true face because of her mysterious attraction.

Huge posters of Pi are hung in cinemas, restaurants, dance halls and theaters in London. At the same time, posters also appear in Asia and can be seen in Shanghai. Huang Liushuang's trip to Europe really caused a series of "oriental effects", and everywhere he went, it was a sensation.

In the early 1930s, 25-year-old Huang Liushuang returned to the United States from Europe, and the film contract immediately flew like a snowflake. Just before she went through the customs formalities, the film dealer had prepared the contract and waited at the door with the prepaid reward. After landing in new york, she first staged 167 stage plays on Broadway, and then made a movie, which also caused a sensation. At the moment, Huang Liushuang's film industry is in full swing, and its leap at the top has lasted for a long time. The little girl loves her country and her hometown. /kloc-in the spring of 0/936, she finally set foot on the land of the motherland-Shanghai. Before the ship landed, a group of reporters visited by sampan. When she passed the customs, she took her time to pose for reporters to look for the camera. The reporter from Los Angeles who came with her also included these pictures in the camera so that they could be published in the Hearst Times in Los Angeles after returning to the United States. In addition to the Shanghai film industry, Huang Liushuang was welcomed by international authoritative ambassador Gu Weijun and his wife Dr. Lin Yutang and other celebrities. During her stay in Shanghai, she enjoyed the scenery of "Oriental Paris" and had dinner with China opera master Mei Lanfang. At that time, Liangyou Pictorial also made a series of reports on her.

Huang Liushuang emphasized her yearning and admiration for the motherland's culture several times, and from time to time she could read My Country and My People published by Dr. Lin Yutang in the United States. On the other hand, however, the "paparazzi" in Shanghai made a despicable personal attack on her previous performance in Hollywood films that hurt the image of Chinese. Huang Liushuang made a positive defense in this respect, claiming that if she didn't take the film, it would be played by a white actor, but at least there would be no chance to maintain the image of the Chinese. Some tabloids hyped that she was unmarried and had no boyfriend. When Huang Liushuang first arrived in Shanghai, although the media reports were quite negative, Huang Liushuang was able to answer and solve problems patiently. Even those particularly difficult reporters asked for her autographed photo after the interview. On the other hand, she can be entertained by China opera master Mei Lanfang, and at the same time, she is different from Hu Die, which is popular all over the country, which greatly changes the attitude of Chinese people towards her.

Besides Shanghai, Huang Liushuang also petitioned Beijing. When she passed Nanjing, she became an official guest of the National Government. When she went to the north, she also went to Mazu Tempel in Tianjin and climbed Mount Tai in Shandong. At that time, Beiyang Pictorial also published a lot of traces of her. For Huang Liushuang himself, this is indeed a cultural "root-seeking journey". Huang Liushuang stayed in China for nine months and returned to the United States in the same year. In order to maintain his relationship with Hollywood, he decided to stay in Los Angeles for a long time.

In the movie "Hollywood Party", she played opposite clark gable. In the film, Huang Liushuang skillfully uses her graceful figure to show off the cheongsam she just brought back from China, and there are many dialogues to enhance the image of China people.

During the 1930s, Pearl Buck's Nobel Prize in Literature masterpiece The Good Earth was also adapted and made into a film, which fairly described the kindness and simplicity of farmers in China, thus changing the prejudice of American society against Chinese people for many years. Later, Huang Liushuang and Pearl Buck cooperated with each other in public welfare undertakings. In postwar Huang Liushuang, with the passage of time, film contracts are not as good as before. She once joined the beauty industry and became the spokesperson of "China Health Beauty". She told her clients to look at the goldfish kept at home because it can increase eye movement.

Huang Liushuang, who stayed in the cinema for almost five years, finally came to the door again at 1949 and made a new film for her. In addition, a TV company produced an album "Mrs. Liu Shuang's Gallery" for her, but it didn't last long, and she didn't get anything on TV, the darling of new media. When people reach middle age, they are worse physically and emotionally than before. Huang Liushuang told others about her past style on the set, but she was also dissatisfied that Hollywood always made her play the role of "bad woman" in the East. Huang Liushuang likes to study Carnegie's positive thinking. In the later stage of her acting career, she did not go to the road of self-destruction, especially in private financial management, which did not make her fall into poverty.

Although she is not particularly rich (she also owns several properties), she definitely doesn't need help from others. Not only that, she can also raise her brothers and sisters. In 1960s, Huang Liushuang was invited to take part in the filming of Flower Drum Song and Su Sihuang's World. On the afternoon of February 2, Huang Liushuang died of a heart attack. He died and was buried next to his mother's grave in Los Angeles. There was not a word engraved on the tombstone.
